Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration brought forward major proposals to curb federal Medicaid contributions and retool the system. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, aims to cut more than $1 trillion in national Medicaid spending over the coming decade, introducing requirements such as work obligations and expanded cost-sharing that could trim overall coverage and support for select recipients. These changes are expected to elevate state-level costs and curtail federal Medicaid funding growth, even as tens of millions continue to benefit from the program nationwide.
